Patent GB-1206024-A (GB)
Title: Multi-mode memory and display system.
Inventor: MATHAMEL FLAVIUS ANDRE
IPC: G06F11/32
Filed: 1968-03-05
Abstract: 1,206,024. Display and/or storing arrangements. BURROUGHS CORP. 5 March, 1968, No. 10688/68. Headings G4A, G4C and G5C. In a data processing system a series connected data storage element and data display element are controlled by first signals operating gates which determine whether one or other or both of two D.C. supply voltages are connected and by second signals for activating the data storage element. The mode of operation of a modular display and/or storing means to which digital information signals are applied is selected by a dual power supply having pulsating D.C. and steady filtered D.C. outputs gatably connected individually or in combination to a common bus connected to said modular means. As shown (Fig. 2) each display and/or storing module comprises a lamp such as an incandescent lamp 35, a bleeder resistor 39 and a memory means such as a silicon controlled rectifier 37. Digital information signals may be applied to gate electrodes 49 from a data processor 27 by leads 31. Depending on control signals on leads 25 from the data processor 27, a power supply 11 (shown in detail in Fig. 3) supplies pulsating and/or steady D.C. power on a common bus 23. If steady D.C. voltage only is applied to bus 23, the lamps 35 are merely warmed but these SCR's 37 to which a signal is applied conduct and store some until the steady D.C. voltage is removed. If pulsating D.C. voltage of higher amplitdue than the steady D.C. voltage is applied to the bus 23 alone the lamps 35 corresponding to enabled SCR's are illuminated intermittently but no storage takes place as the SCR's are back biased each time the potential on bus 23 matches the reference potential 43. If both steady and pulsating D.C. voltage outputs are applied to bus 23, simultaneous display and storing takes place. The power supply 11 (Fig. 3) comprises a full wave unfiltered rectifier section 51 and a full wave filtered rectifier section 53 respectively coupled by silicon controlled switches 71, 99 comprising gating means to a common terminal 17. In modifications, the lamps 35 may comprise neon or fluorescent lamps with suitable inductive couplings, the SCR's 37 may be replaced by thyratrons, trigistors, transwitches, and silicon controlled switches (Fig. 5, not shown), and half wave rectifiers may be used. The invention may be used for storing and/or displaying selected parts of a data processor.

IPC: F42B39/02
Abstract: 107.003. Universal Patents Co., (Assignees of Jennings, V. H.). June 3, 1916, [Convention date]. Pouches &c.-In woven carriers, such as those used for carrying cartridges, which are formed with a web 2 on either side or, when two or more are made in series, between each pair, the lower part of each web is divided vertically into two parts 3, 4 whereby it is possible to insert eyelets 5 &c. in either or both of the divided parts, such eyelets being then so short in the stem that uniform or standard-sized hooks can be employed, instead of special hooks, from which to suspend any desired article. At least one of the parts 3, 4 must have a free edge or margin. The web being so divided at its lower part also allows the pocket to open equally down to the bottom corners, whereby a square-ended package will fit accurately. Each pocket is formed of a back which is in alinement with the web, a front 1<c>, sides 1<d>, and a bottom part 1<a>, 1<b>, usually made so as to fold bellows-fashion along its centre line. In weaving the pockets, the division 3 of the web comprises a direct longitudinal continuation of the section 1<a> of the bottom and the lower portion of the back wall, while the division 4 comprises a direct longitudinal continuation of the section 1<b> of the bottom and the lower portion of the front wall 1<c> and of the side walls 1<d>. The weaving may be done in any desired way. As shown in Figs. 6 to 9, the parts 11<a>, 11<b> constitute continuations of the parts 1<a>, 1<b> respectively, and it is seen that these parts form a simple loose infold, that is, are entirely free in Fig. 6, are partly or entirely bound together by binder warps 11<c> in Figs. 7 and 8, or have the picks of weft extending into the upper portion of the web in Fig. 9. The inner plies of the two divisions are produced by short picks of weft, the weft passing over at the inner edge of one of the said inner plies from such ply to the inner edge of the other so as to connect the two inner edges in the weaving. The main portion of the body web may be of any approved weave; that shown being of two plies tied or bound together by binder warps b.

Abstract: 180,512. Clayton & Shuttleworth, Ltd., Robson, P. W., and McGregor, R. April 13, 1921. Straight-tube superheaters.-A steam-superheater or like apparatus having its tubes 2, Figs. 1 and 3, arranged in vertical rows is fitted with baffles 1 of a width substantially equal to the vertical spaces between the rows of tubes and so placed within the spaces as to cross the rows of tubes, thus laterally deflecting the gases around the tubes. The baffles may be supported by lateral end extensions resting against the tubes. End extensions 3, Fig. 9, are so formed as to wedge between the tubes. The baffles may be inclined alternately in opposite directions and may be curved. Each baffle may extend horizontally along half the length of the tubes, then descend vertically through the whole depth of the tubes, and finally extend horizontally under the other half. Covers 4 may be placed between the tube-plates and the upper ends of baffles to prevent lodgment of soot. Specification 180,511, [Class 123 (ii), Steam generators], is referred to.
Patent GB-896036-A (GB)
Title: Acid addition salts of thiaxanthene derivatives and the manufacture thereof
IPC: C07D335/20
Filed: 1959-03-31
Abstract: The invention comprises acid addition salts of trans - 2 - chloro - 9 - (3 - dimethylaminopropylidene) thiaxanthene substantially free from cis isomer, characterized by the free base having a melting point of 97 DEG C.-98 DEG C.  The trans isomers are isolated by fractional crystallisation of the mixed cis and trans acid addition salts such as the hydrochloride, hydrobromide, sulphate, tartrate, citrate, acetate and lactate from solvents, for example from water or organic solvents such as alkanols or ethers.  After isolation of the desired isomer by fractional crystallisation, the remaining isomer may be treated with a hydrogen halide in chloroform and evaporated to dryness to split off hydrogen halide, whereby rearrangement takes place to give a mixture of cis and trans isomers which is then resubjected to fractional crystallisation to give an increased yield of the trans isomer..  The mixture of cis and trans isomers used as a starting material may be prepared either by treating 2-chloro-thiaxanthydrol with acrylonitrile, reducing the resulting 9 - b  - cyatnoethyl - 2 - chloro - thiaxanthydrol, e.g. with lithium aluminium hydride or sodium borohydride, to 2-chloro-9-g -aminopropyl-thiaxanthydrol and dehydrating to 2-chloro-9-g -aminopropylidene-thiaxanthen followed by methylation, both steps being suitably effected in one operation by treatment with a mixture of formaldehyde and formic acid, or by reacting 2-chloro thiaxanthone with allyl magnesium bromide, hydrolysing to 2-chloro-9-allyl thiaxanthydrol, reacting with hydrogen halide to give 2-chloro-g -halopropylidene thiaxanthene and reacting with dimethylamine. Examples describe the separation of the trans tartrate by crystallization from water and the trans hydrochloride by crystallization from cyclopentanone.  Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specification 829,763.
